There seems to be a different target audience, I'd say. Some have dancing in mind (a Saturday night out at the pub...), others more of a concert attitude, with a (preferably seated...) audience listening and watching. In my (distant..!) youth, I can't remember ever having assisted at the former, but spent (too..?) many late nights at clubs, concerts and festivals of all sorts, watching and listening to 'live' bands. I can't really imagine folks getting up to dance to Pentangle, for instance, or Johnny Winter. Originals bands are in the latter category for the most part, I'd suggest, so choice of repertoire and pick of songs to do (including some covers; it's often done, and allowed...) have very different criteria. Maybe things have changed with the advent of discos and raves and such, though; I wouldn't know.

... and what do your second keys, second guitar, horn section and percussionist have to say..? Are they up to it..? What..? None of these..? It's basically a drum solo, then..? If your drummer's [i]really [/i]up to playing what that bloke on Youtube is playing, [i]he's[/i] in the wrong band. Those sights are very, very high, and if the full orchestration is not there, personally I can't see the point. It's a funny ol' world, right enough. You're in a high-flying ensemble; make the most of it and fly with 'em, but remember the story of Icarus.

It's the absence of the apostrophe which is more worrying.

Of course it's quite reasonable to expect hits from the '70s and such to be played on bass guitars, in the same way as Schubert is still performed using trombones. However, if the question means 'What's the future of bassists in future music hits..?', I'm not so optimistic. I reckon the bass 'sound' will still be a component, but there'll be less and less 'real' instruments of any kind, except maybe as samples. Bassists will still be around (although aging...), still bemoaning the long-gone heady days of 'slap-fests' and 'heft'. The world will move on, despite such acrimony, and 'Any good for metal' will no longer be recognised as a valid, grammatical phrase. 'Wodja mean, metal, innit..?' will be the future response, coupled with scratching the top of the head.

What happens if the volume of the drummer's click is reduced to zero..? Still the crosstalk..?

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1507902451' post='3388701'] In post # 2, although no F sharp is written on the clef to indicate the key is 'G', it is indeed 'G'. (same as record). In post #11 it has two flats, but should be one. Tone down from above. But I think you know that and are just testing us all out, you crafty senior, so & so... [/quote] 'Fraid not. I was just trusting that if there was no other indication, t'would be in 'C'..! Dumb or what..? I did look it up (I don't know the piece...), and all I saw was in 'C', too, so maybe I'm not the only dunce. Whatever; the second post is the first (in 'G', if you say so, but missing the sharp in the key signature...), but down a tone. Ignore the extra flat in the key signature (play just the Bb one...) and it'll be fine, no..? Edit: There, at least, is one advantage of Tab; it's correct, whatever the key signature booboo..!

Some people are born miserable, some people attain misery; some have misery thrust upon them.

[quote name='casapete' timestamp='1507887750' post='3388529'] The part in post #11 looks like it’s in B flat but is actually in F?! [/quote] What key is the part in post #2..? It's supposed to be in 'C'. The post #11 version is a tone below that. If any other key is required, it's a matter of minutes for me to change it. Just say how much higher/lower than the post #2 version.

That's better... and stop sulking; it doesn't become you. Now, send me a PM with your postal address and I'll get these sheets printed up in A4 and send 'em across. ... I said stop sulking..! It's not always [i]entirely [/i]your fault, and I've not scolded you, yet. A smile, please..? No, I mean a [i]real [/i]smile, not a 'Just William' grimace. That's better.

I am bored after the first 10 seconds... [/quote] So, not a great lover of Beethoven either, then..? It's true, it's not 'instant gratification' listening, and, indeed, doesn't appeal to all. I wouldn't listen to it either as a loop tape on a desert island, but it does have its moments, and there are 'right times' for listening to such stuff. Wagner's 'Ring' drones on for fifteen hours or so ...
